What Is Good For The Skin

How many times have you heard that Vitamin C is good for you? It is good for the skin, for sure. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and increases the production and synthesis of collagen. In skin care it also protects the skin from sun damage, and even helps reverse the damaging effects that the sun has on the skin. Isotretinoin is an oral drug used for the treatment and prevention of severe acne. This does not mean that a sunscreen can be abandoned but rather products that contain Vitamin C will actually be more likely to be able to neutralise free radicals.

Vitamin C can be included in any skin care type product. Retinol is excellent in skin care products that are aimed to regenerate and rejuvenate skin.

It is especially effective on sensitive skin since it does not cause redness or peeling. Essential oils are fantastic for the skin. Natural oils used as a base in skin care should be cold pressed. The most beneficial plant oils are polyunsaturated, which means they oxidise and go rancid fairly quickly (about 6 months) so some natural products actually use synthetic preservatives and a natural preservative for example could be wheatgerm oil.

Aloe vera, purified water, cold-pressed oils such as jojoba, safflower, sweet almond, olive oil and so on, herbal extracts, non-gmo lecithin, calendula, essential oils of various types, cocoa butter, shea butter, beeswax, clays, d-panthenol and of course the other ingredients mentioned earlier to name a few. Natural skin care products can be found at your local beauty supply store or online pharmacy. Finally we suggest you avoid skin care products that contain the following: mineral oils, petrolatum, propylene glycol, parabens, phthalates, SLS and SLES.
